LM 13 Cinamon - Flash kills X, dumps user back at login screen

[chris mason]

1) Linux Mint 13 Cinamon edition. Fresh install.

2 & 3) Youtube seems to work fine, but various other websites using flash causes X to die and dumps me back at the login screen (just as if I'd typed "sudo killall Xorg"). I can't watch this video, for example: http://www.thedailyshow.com/full-episodes/thu-june-7-2012-edward-conard (It's happened before, on a few different websites since this fresh install a few days ago, I'll edit and update as I come across more). Sometimes it happens after 30 seconds of watching, sometimes 5 or 10 minutes, but "watching a flash video" seems to be the pattern.

5) If it doesn't happen, I consider it "luck" that I was able to watch a flash video all the way through.

Problem presents itself on Chrome and Firefox. Removing mint-flashplugin-11 and installing adobe-flashplugin, will report back with results (As I know it's about to kill X and thus firefox, my testing of various things is going to look a bit like microtweeting...).

Still presents itself with adobe-flashplugin. Tried to keep my eye on htop, and while I did notice occassional spikes to 100% I wasn't able to see what was happening immediately before the crash (what can I say, it's hard to be perfectly attentive.).

I have the same problem with different sites. Even with facebook. It`s really annoying. Please fix that!
